When We Were Younger by David Kastling

Lyrics

When we were younger, I showed you ways,
How to tie a knot, how to name the days.
Breathing the same air, close as could be,
Shadows on the ground, just you and me.

Tasting life's current, pure and deep,
A shared stream where our memories sleep.

Time keeps rolling, a river's gentle flow,
Trees in different fields, still we grow.
You chase wild waters I'll never see,
But we're breathing the same air, you and me.

When we were younger, I steadied your start,
Held you through the dark, kept you in my heart.
Now you roam where paths unwind,
Strong and free, with your own mind.

Roots reach out from where we stood,
Yet the wind still binds us, as it should.

Time keeps rolling, a river's gentle flow,
Trees in different fields, still we grow.
You chase wild waters I'll never see,
But we're breathing the same air, you and me.

In the rustle of the leaves, I hear your call,
In the stirring skies, I feel it all.
Roots run deep beneath the climb,
Rising still, through endless time.

Time keeps rolling, a river's gentle flow,
Trees in different fields, still we grow.
You chase wild waters I'll never see,
But we're breathing the same air, you and me.

When we were younger, the world was small,
Now it's vast, but I feel you through it all.
